England and Everton centre back John Stones rises about Cenk Tosun to head clear

DANNY ROSE 6

Exposed for Turkey’s 13th-minute equaliser, not reading Oguzhan Ozyakup’s neat through ball and turned inside out. Improved as the game grew on.

ERIC DIER 7

Decent performance sitting in front of the back four. Rarely wastes ball, keeps it simple and shows remarkable discipline in the role for a 22-year-old.

JACK WILSHERE 6.5

Some fine touches in midfield, joined in to good effect and was a pest in countering Turkey’s ploy to rough England up.

RAHEEM STERLING 6.5

Bright and showed glimpses of why Manchester City will persist with him under Pep Guardiola next season.

DELE ALLI 7

Integral as to whether England progress to the latter stages in France. Dictates tempo, breaks go through him and not afraid to stick a foot in. Magic footwork to lay on for Harry Kane’s goal.

Jamie Vardy pounces in the 83rd minute with a powerful strike from close-range to make it 2-1

JAMIE VARDY 7.5

Patently not suited to playing wide and Roy Hodgson runs the risk of wasting Vardy’s scintillating form through the middle. Won a penalty within 15 minutes of being thrust alongside Kane and then popped up with the winner. Must start; must be front and centre.

HARRY KANE 6

Almost too eager to impress, shots flying in from all angles and an insistence of taking free-kicks. Took the opener brilliantly, although offside, but really fluffed his lines with 71st-minute penalty.

SUBSTITUTES

JORDAN HENDERSON (for Wilshere, 66) 6

Valuable minutes on he steps up a return from a knee injury. Should form part of England’s midfield going forward.
